To get Web access to the I-MATH intranet webserver it is possible to set up a SOCKS SSH proxy channel. This setting is not persistent, start it when you need it. The proxy configuration can be done: on the OS - not described here. via commandline - described here for Google Chrome and Opera. inside the browser via GUI - described here for Firefox.

Use SSH Linux & Mac OS X: preinstalled. Windows: Open a terminal and start the SSH Socks connection (I-MATH password): @ssh.math.uzh.ch &]]>Define an alias to use it as a onliner (kill's stale ssh proxy connections first)

To use the I-MATH internal DNS Server (necessary to get access to hostnames that are only known inside of I-MATH), use the SOCKS5 protocol incl. DNS forward. For Google Chrome or Opera, open a second terminal and type the following command. Browser Command Google Chrome (see also advanced) Linux: google-chrome --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080"Mac OS X: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080" Opera Linux: opera --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080"Mac OS X: /Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080" Firefox There is no official option '-proxy-server' for the command line Start firefox, open 'settings', navigate to 'network' > see screenshot ff-proxy.png

Q: Can I configure Google Chrome / Opera via GUI like Firefox A: yes - just check the 'network' seetings. Q: Why should I start Google Chrome / Opera via command line? A: This is a very quick way to use the proxy. If you do not need it, start the browser via mouse. Q: Can I automate the steps? A: yes. A small bash script should do the trick: @ssh.math.uzh.ch ]]>Check SSH Keys to setup password less SSH login. Q: in Firefox I don't like to toggle the proxy on/off all the time - is there a better way? A: Create an additional profile 'proxy'. Start Firefox via Terminal firefox -P, create the profile, use it and do the proxy config there.

Install and configure the Google Chrome extension SwitchyOmega to automatically switch proxy for certain URLs. Configurations: switchyOmega_proxy.png switchyOmega_autoswitch.png
